May 4, 2012 at 23:01 comment added John Klein @Jeff: a word of advice. The term "fibration" means different things to different people. It's clear that you meant Hurewicz fibration in the above. I doubt the result you are asking about is true in the Serr e fibration case.

Dec 17, 2010 at 2:12 comment added Jeff Strom @Sergey: this sounds very interesting! I can wait for your paper to make it to the arXiv -- no rush for me.
Dec 17, 2010 at 2:07 comment added Sergey Melikhov If $E$, $B$ are metrizable and $p$ is uniformly continuous, and you replace quotient topology by the topology of quotient uniformity everywhere, then your two mapping cylinders will be homeomorphic (and also metrizable). The preprint about this is not on the arxiv yet (delayed by other sections) but I can share it. In fact, the two mapping cylinders are uniformly homeomorphic. So is there a nice model category structure on metrizable uniform spaces and u.c. maps? Unfortunately, not all pushouts are metrizable, though all adjunction spaces are. I wonder if some trick can save pushouts.

Dec 15, 2010 at 18:01 comment added Jeff Strom Yes, this was what I was trying to say: $q$ is a fibration if $p$ is locally trivial, without any modification.
Dec 15, 2010 at 17:35 comment added Somnath Basu If your fibration $p:E\to B$ had fibre $F$ then $q:M_p \to B$ has pointwise fibre $CF$, the cone on $F$. If $p$ is locally trivial then $q^{-1}(U)\cong U\times CF$. I don't see where the modification of the topology of $M_p$ comes in this case at least!
